More objectives. The lack of painting supplies is really starting to hurt…
Category: EPIC
A quick “generic” chaos objective. I have a god-specific objective for each of the chaos contingent so I needed two generic ones to share between forces. This is the first one (one item, just two pics). The stones are from Hirst Art, the portal itself is a multi-layer optical film from a very old sample that I had lying around. It’s hard to tell from the photos but the film actually reflects light in different colours depending on the angle of view (across the entire rainbow spectrum). It’s also semi-transparent so models behind the portal will change colours when you look through it. Yes, I am a geek.
This is it! No more infantry for the Lost and the Damned (all gods)! I present two units of Plague Zombies. Or at least two units at average unit size. I guess they fluctuate between games…
As a result of criticism on TacComs, here is the slightly reworked Plague Tower (drilled out the gun barrels).
And a quick Slaneesh objective:
A plague pool for the minions of Nurgle. Greenstuff, some old models and a bit of coloured resin.
The mighty big brother of the Contagion Engines. Took a bit longer because of the banner (which is less “monocolour” in reality).
On the last drop of Devlan Mud I finished the Contagion Engines. Old models but quite lovely. The wood is a blend of colours similar to the Nurgle Altar. Doesn’t come through on the photos though.
These are kitbashed from old Epic Ork battle wagon chassis and some GHQ truck parts that I found in my bitz box. I am going to add some Beastmen into the open truck beds at some point. There are enough transports for two covens (6 Mutants + 6 Big Mutants).
Well, at least marching onto the painting table (at the end of a long line). Basing, stripping and green stuff work completed for the Squats. Now there is just that minor detail of painting them.
Top row from left: The heavy war engines (Cyclops, Colossus, Leviathan, 2 Land Trains with carts) and a Brotherhood with Termite Tunnelers
Middle row from left: Berzerker with two Mole tunellers, a squadron of Robots and a Brotherhood with Spartan Rhinos.
Bottom row from left: Twelve Thunderers and the Living Ancestor.
Top row from left: 18 Mole Mortars, 3 Goliath (1 inbound from Ebay) and 2 Thunderfire AA guns (4 more inbound from Ebay).
Middle row from left: 18 Thudd Guns, 6 Rapiers, three squadrons of 6 Bikers and 6 Exo Armour Bikers.
Bottom row from left: 6 Iron Eagle flyers, 2 Overlord Airships, 12 Trikes, and the “bike masters” (2 with masters on bikes, 1 on trike).
This is pretty much everything available in the various Squat lists and comes to a grand total around 10,000 points. I just received the remaining parts for 6 Hearthguard bases and 6 Exo-Armour bases. Those will join the ranks shortly.
The protectors of Mars, worshippers of the Machine God: Adeptus Mechanicus is ready for painting.
The infantry models are a mix of TacComs custom sculpts and DRM Industrial Infantry. The guns and Gorgons are Otterware. My goal for the AdMech army was to avoid painting another Imperial Guard force. I am therefore using different models for all the artillery options and have focused on unique AdMech units. All artillery is basically static (pulled by the little Otterware tracks for visual effect). This contrasts them nicely with the self-propelled Imperial Guard artillery.
The core are four Skitarii formations with some Thudd Gun support and some Praetorians in Gorgons. Two of the Skitarii formations can be mounted in Chimeras (not pictured). The little pile on the bottom left are DRM Scout Buggies that I will use as Sentinels.
The more interesting tray has all the toys. On the top we have various Knights (still looking for the missing Knight types). Above are six Macharius heavy tanks and two Ordinati Majoris on the right (third one in transit from Ebay). On the middle left are the legs for two Warhound Titants, one Warlord Titan and a Reaver Titan. Bottom left are 6 Basilisk (Otterware), 6 Bombards (Otterware), 3 Manticore platforms (Forge World) and 3 Hydra Platforms (Forge World). The little tankette tracks are just for visual effect (I imaging them pulling the fixed artillery).
Using the War Griffons list this totals to about 11,000 points (with the Titans).
